Pocopson Prison Lagoon Wall, Pocopson Township, PA

Improvements to an existing Waste Water Treatment Plant Facility required increasing the storage capacity of a large 4 acre Polishing-Storage Pond by raising the water level 8 feet. This was accomplished by designing concrete flood walls to encompass the existing lagoon. Design was in accordance with the Army Corps of Engineers criteria for Flood walls and required specialized jointing to maintain the impermeability of the structure.
